Sperry as a company has a collaboration catalog that puts everyone apart from Nike to shame. Sperry has partnered with everyone from movie studios, both Quoddy and Rancourt, Patta (before New Balance), Rains, Barneys, J. Crew, and more. However, one of the most sought-after collections was the Sperry x Band of Outsiders Topsider collabs.
The Sperry Top-Sider has been a staple of those who want to look like they could jump on their yacht at any moment – even if the closest they’ve been to a large body of water is Point Place in Toledo, Ohio. Most people will point to 1935 as the year the Top-Sider was introduced, but that isn’t exactly true.
